Women for Sale (Hebrew: Nashim Limechira) is a 2005 documentary film by Israeli journalist, film director and producer Nili Tal. It explores the phenomenon of Russian women who immigrate to Israel to work as prostitutes.[1] The film was commissioned by Channel 8, Israel.[1]
Synopsis[edit]
In the post-Perestroika era in Russia,[1] many young women were driven to work abroad by the hardships they were suffering in their own country.[2] Israel is one of the countries they immigrate to and work as prostitutes. Some are trafficked,[3] some end up in prison or deported.[2]
Women for Sale examines the lives of these women in a sympathetic, compassionate and non-judgemental manner.[3] The film features interviews with the women, and follows the police, including during a brothel raid. The film also examines the role of religion in the women's lives.[3]
